Grumpy meemaw GOP Rep Virginia Fox Humiliates Boy, 10, for Writing Letter About Electric Cars [View all]

GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx doesn’t pull punches, even when speaking to a child.

When 10-year-old Christian wrote to her about electric vehicles for a school project, the 82-year-old congresswoman quickly fired back.

The letter went public after the fourth grader’s mother, Emily Mango, 42, shared it on social media, calling it a “reprehensible response” to her son.

“Your request that ‘the federal government should give a $5,000 tax rebate for all new electric car purchases’ means that the federal government must take that money out of the pockets of hardworking people who may not have the means to buy an electric vehicle in the first place,” Foxx wrote.

How much you want to bet she voted yes on every tax cut for the well to do?
